    <p class="header2">Moving Sprint Start and End Dates</p>
    
    <p>For each task in a sprint backlog, Tackle tracks the daily changes to the actual, remaining and punted time. 
    This information is used to generate sprint totals and burn down charts. When a task is added to a sprint, the initial 
    time entered is stored either on the first day of the sprint or on the day the task was added. Once tasks have been
    added, changing the start or end dates of a sprint becomes more complicated. When these dates are changed, Tackle 
    makes the following additional changes behind the scenes.</p>
    
    <ol>
    <li>If the sprint start date is moved before the previous sprint start date, Tackle will take all the entries found 
    on the previous sprint start date and change their tracking date to be the new sprint start date.</li>
    <li>If the sprint start date is moved after the previous sprint start date, Tackle will take all the entries between 
    the previous sprint start date and the new sprint start date and set the date to the new sprint start date.</li>
    <li>If the sprint end date is moved before the previous sprint end date, Tackle will take all the entries between the 
    previous sprint end date and the new sprint end date and set the date to the new sprint start date.</li>
